Harry Redknapp at Villa not a bad call IMO. He knows how to help a struggling team survive!

Didn't look at all like the dominant team we've been throughout most of the season but we got the win and the 3 points. Thank heavens for Willian (and Cech)!

Luis should have played in the last few games to be fair. Azpi's form recently hasn't been up to scratch at all, and has been easily beaten for pace. Plus Luis offers us more threat going forward.

We play well and we're losing = moan and leave don't forget that one!

Zouma has looked rather solid as well. Kept Lukaku at bay so far!

It's not the fact that Remy is up front and won't be able to deliver from crosses, it's the fact that all we seem to be doing is playing it low across the goal. Everton have about 3 defenders watching that ball all the time, and they just easily clear it!

Everton are in luxury at the moment with these low crosses they're swallowing up, it's quite pathetic really.. Cuadrado looks different class however!

Gotta love memes about Gordon Ramsay!

I think this is a chance for Willian to prove to us why he needs to play more in the middle, instead of on the right. Then Cuadrado can make the RM position his own. We saw some promising glimpses of his capability against Villa. If Oscar plays in this game next week I will commit suicide!

Nervous but a BIG win... City dropped big points at home, just a pity it wasn't all 3

Fuck you Milner... bit-part England player!!

City lose 0-1 at home to Hull! .. seems far to late to be smelling an 8-point gap! EDIT: oh wait a minute!

COME ON CUADRADO!!!

Oscar off, Mikel on

Benteke on for them...

BRANOOOOOO!!!!! WHAT A FUCKING GOAL!! 2-1

Oh dear Courtois ....

Fabregas and Costa REALLY need to come back...

Gary Cahill vs Villa ....

I suppose you (and The Skipper) are right about Cech's woes last season, but Cech in his earlier seasons made crosses look much easier to manage, especially when he was regarded the best, and our defence looked solid. He was a much younger keeper then. Courtois is at the same age, and given his experience, you'd expect him to be doing the same. Also, if you're making it priority to catch the ball, at least call for it, so that the defender won't run into you. If it's the opposition running into the keeper, then it's obviously the defender's fault for not marking him well enough. Typical lack of communication.

Not sounding like a "Cech Lover" here, but as a reviewer of matches Cech has played for us, I've never seen him flail at any cross, and even if he has, it's been on the rare occaision. I've seen Courtois do it 3 times in the last 2 games, one of which cost us a goal (vs City). I'm just saying... Tibbo really needs to work on swallowing those crosses.

JESUS COURTOIS!!! Has he forgotten to hold onto the ball when a cross is made???

I really think age is catching up to Drogba...

Oscar has been absolutely USELESS!! Stick Willian in the middle and replace Oscar with Cuadrado!

Courtois REALLY needs to work on crosses!!!
